Iran's Judiciary spokesman says two Swedish nationals have been apprehended in Iran on drug smuggling charges.

“News that two Swedish citizens have been arrested for smuggling narcotics is confirmed,” Gholam-Hossein Eslami said in a press conference on Tuesday.

He said a drug haul was seized from them when they were arrested. “They are still under arrest.”
